Sensational
Parcheesi Gameboard
with Soft Color Palette   

Ohio, ca. 1870-1880.
High visual impact from a bold yet quiet presence from a harmonious blend of eight colors. The inventive design is distinguished by large, balloon-like circles in each corner, separated by delightful salmon-colored ladders. At the center, a bright blue field creates a compelling contrast against the salmon.

The board's oyster-white base provides backdrop for the vibrant hues, which include a reddish-black frame, orange, dark blue, green, mustard yellow, and a bright light blue.

The deep frame appears to be square nailed with a few later tightening nails. About 24 x 20 inches. Has been in a private collection since 2011.

A stunning forward-looking piece of American folk art.
